Broadway legend’s daughter at center of wild Boris Johnson scandal
NYP ^ | June 23, 2019 | Reuven Fenton and Lee Brown

A New York-born playwright is at the center of a British political scandal that could decide the country’s next prime minister.

Eve Leigh — the lefty 34-year-old daughter of famed Broadway composer Mitch Leigh — and her husband admitted Saturday that they called the cops Friday about the plate-smashing row between frontrunner Boris Johnson and his live-in gal pal, Carrie Symonds, and then tipped off the press.

News of the spat — during which Symonds, 31, allegedly asked Johnson to “get off me” and “get out of my flat” — has dominated UK politics in the days since, with Johnson, 55, fending off questions about his fitness to lead the country.

Leigh’s husband, Tom Penn, 29, claimed in the statement released late Saturday that they called the police and recorded audio of the fight for “the welfare and safety of our neighbours” and then notified the left-leaning Guardian newspaper because they felt “it was of important public interest.”

But the couple have been facing questions about their motives after it emerged that Eve has expressed opposition to “Brexit” — the movement Johnson first helped push — on Twitter, where she also declared that “all Tories suck” and bragged about taking it out on Johnson himself.

“Just gave Boris Johnson the finger, this weekend is unstoppable,” she once bragged on her now-deleted Twitter account, according to The Telegraph.

She has also defended Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, and earlier this year, one of her plays was featured in Brexit Stage Left, a pro-European Union festival with European funding, according to The Telegraph.

The couple has been hiding out — while Symonds moans to friends about the “dirty tricks story” by her “eavesdropping” neighbors, according to The Times of London.

Well— who knows? “Allegedly”... key word. But this is all to prevent Brexit any way they can. Disgusting corbynites and press/theatrical types-— who love the muzzies and French wine, and the EU-istocracy of bureaucrats.

What do you think-— Eve is a “he/it/she”? or tranny playwright. Not too uh feminine.

How about a photo of Boris’s live in, for balance? heh.

Did Eve ever go by Steve?

How did they obtain the tape? It could say, at the link, but I don’t want to click on NYP.

TIA.

What IS that in the blue shirt?

Is it possible that this event was a setup?
I would not rule it out.

Umm...did “Eve” begin life as an “Everett”? Asking for a friend...

This is their way now. It is no longer about the battle of ideas or who is more fit to run the country. It is about who can deplatform or undermine. A new social order is in play where to constantly outraged get to decide who hangs acoordingingly. Even if you are on their side but they can take you down they will to show how committed they are to their new regime. It’s not a time to be silent.

My English friends; pay no attention to that “woman” behind the curtain. This is someone who can only win by creating illusions and distractions.
Elect Boris to move forward. His domestic squabbles can be dealt with in private. Has no one else ever had an argument with a loved one before?

Something makes me suspect that Jeremy Corbyn is a socialist.

Quite frankly whatever BoJo or Gove or Corbyn does in their private lives is their own private bluidy problem.

This is a storm in a teacup.

BoJo will become Prime Minister of Eton!

I mean, he will be Prime Minister of England.

Nothing's going to stop him becoming PM

The English don’t care about his love life much to be honest

The tabloids care

The MPs not so much

Tabloids care about scandal so they can sell papers.

Smashing dishes?

Shouting “get off me” loud enough to be recorded by the neighbors?

My first thought - Boris’s girlfriend is part of this scam, too.
